Donot buy if your dslr have a pop up flash. This wont give much better result than your pop up flash. If you are a dslr user, looking for first flash experience go for 430exII or other low cost compatible models.
It is strictly for compact camera users.Not for DSLR.

Easy To Use

I purchased this flash due to the size for my full frame camera and I was pleased with the results. The flash is powerful yet compact.

The Canon Speedlite 270EX II Flash takes over the small/light/inexpensive position in Canon's flash lineup, replacing the Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash , which not long ago supplanted the Canon Speedlite 220EX Flash .

This unit is an good upgrade from the basic flash included on most DSLRs. However it may leave you wanting a better flash when you see what some of...

Good Price; Portable; Can act as wireless remote; Can flash wirelessly as well; Includes stand

Flash output is weak at times; but still better than the stock flash on a DSLR

Works perfectly for the type of photography that I do. Good coverage without having to carry the more powerfull flash units

270EX II is a great flash for the price. It's better than the built in flash on my Canon T1i. Tilting it all the way to the top gives a nice even fill to the room. The remote trigger feature is awesome. Don't need an additional remote for group photos. Built is sturdy.

Compact; Easy To Use; Lightweight

This is a great little flash gun, I wanted something for traveling to use with both my Canon 7d and G15 and this fits the bill perfectly.

Durable; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Did a recent photo shoot and this guy worked great!!! It was small and portable. Takes only two AA batteries, and the wireless functionality was wonderful. Highly recommend buying it!!!

I love that the flash can be directed up or at intermediate angles, it makes it so much more versatile to use. Easy to attach, though the switch to turn on or to set as slave is a little hard to use, it would slide past the slave setting easily on me.

Attach Securely; Good Color Value; Powerful

Switch to turn on

I bought the 270EX for my XT and G10 . I have a 430EX but it is still too big and in certain situation, very cumbersome. A 430EX makes the G10 non compact. I can put the G10 and 270 in a small bag during travel and outings. The flash runs on 2AAs and has a recycle time of 3 seconds give or take.

compact, powerful for it size; E-TTL

Price; a bit expensive considering the old 430EX is about $150.00
